#The War of the Worlds

Rupert Graves
I spy a soon-to-be bard
Robert Carlyle
Starting the 2019 The War of the Worlds miniseries. Not to be confused with War of the Worlds series also from 2019, which is set in modern day France (which I’ll also get around to) this is the Edwardian-era one with Robert Carlyle.
I was listening to the commentary by Ann Robinson on The War of the Worlds and apparently George Pal insisted that Ann Robinson wear a wig, otherwise her short hair would “Date the Picture.” The wig is in two pieces, the top and the back part. Years later Pal would tell Robinson that he regretted her wig.
